Estonia has become a successful, secure, digital society through the use of UXP. It is thanks to its decentralised framework that all citizens retain full control over their data and resources. UXP has since been adopted by the governments of Namibia, Haiti, Ukraine, as well as for a NATO pilot in order to exchange data securely between member states. As such, its effectiveness is being proven in a wide variety of dynamic environments, with mission-critical systems and high security requirements.
